Giveaway instructions

The giveaway ends on June 28th. Until then you can enter to win the 10 page printable coloring book pdf file in the Gleam.io competition page. You need to enter with the giveaway widget, because I'll use it to pick 1
random winner. I'll send the prize to the winner by email. No mailing address needed, only your email address. The giveaway is open internationally.

If you're subscribed to my YouTube channel
(or want to subscribe now for art and DIY videos by clicking the red subscribe button), you get 1 entry.

If
you're subscribed to my email newsletter (for art and crafts tutorials,
tips and freebies), you also get 1 entry. The giveaway widget has a link to
subscribe, if you haven't already. Just

follow the link to subscribe. You will get 2 emails: first one to confirm your subscription and another one saying it's confirmed. After you've received the confirmation email (email title: Ivy Lily Creative: Subscription
Confirmed) with a link to the coloring page, you've completed this step
and can click "continue". If I sent you the coloring page link, that means I know you've completed this entry.

If you complete both of those tasks, you'll unlock more possible
ways to enter and enhance your chances of winning: refer a friend (+ 5

Having trouble coming up with ideas for art projects, art blog posts or art YouTube channel videos? I've listed 100 (or 101) art video title or topic ideas for YouTube in this post. A lot of them work for blog posts, too. Some of them you can use as ideas for you art projects that you don't even post online. I divided the list into sections: general art video title ideas, art challenges, art tutorials, themed artworks and art series. Some art challenges have many versions of them (3 marker challenge, 2 marker challenge and 1 marker challenge or 10 minute and 30 minute drawing challenge), but I'll just name one of the versions. You can download the list PDF format to save it or print it out.

How can I make acrylic paints opaque, vibrant and bright? Let's go through a few problems with acrylic painting and how to fix them. If you have issues with acrylics not being opaque enough or the colors not being vibrant and bright, you might be making some of these mistakes. I don't really like calling them mistakes, though, but nevertheless, you might find these quick acrylic painting tips helpful to solve those issues.

Would you like to paint on cardboard, but have noticed that the paint soaks into and you can't achieve bright colors? I'll show you how to prepare a piece of cardboard for painting with gesso primer. Cardboard works for both acrylic and oil painting and you might sometimes want to use it instead of canvas, board, wood or paper to save money or to be more environmentally friendly.

Have you ever wondered if you can mix charcoal and acrylic paint by painting acrylic over charcoal or drawing charcoal over acrylic? I tried it and here are the results. Read on to find out how to combine charcoal and acrylics into a mixed media painting without smudging the charcoal lines and the paint colors.

A couple of months before my last birthday, I decided I wanted to start making speed painting videos for YouTube and asked for a tripod for my birthday. My first videos turned out to be travel diaries, because those were a lot easier to film. By now I've also made some DIY tutorial and speed art videos and I thought I'd share how I got started with those by using tools I already had or just cheap or free tools.

Why should you start a YouTube channel though, if you already run a craft or art blog? For one thing, it can be a lot more informative to watch video of an art technique or a craft project than just reading and seeing a few work-in-progress photos. Moreover, you can reach a bigger audience with videos than a written blog. My most popular blog post (Sugar Painting) has been viewed 2,100 times (based on Blogger statistics which exaggerate the number of views) while my most popular video has been viewed 8, 700 times.
